Eddie Howe reveals the one big change for Newcastle United at home under his guidance

Eddie Howe has revealed the one big change to life at Newcastle United for his players under his guidance. Only at the start of this season the feeling in the dressing room was that St James' Park was a tough place to play in the view of some of the players.

But Howe has transformed that mentality and from a position of players rushing off the field after some games at the start of this season, the team can't get enough of the post-game celebrations these days. Speaking after the 2-1 win over Leicester City, Howe said: "Our home form was always going to be absolutely key in us trying to stay in the division. We really wanted to try to create an environment where the players really were excited to play at home, wanted to play at home.

"I have to give the supporters huge credit that they have created that environment very quickly. The players now look forward to home games, and the ability to express themselves and play without fear.
